This EVENT is the BEST EVER!~Michael Kmiec 11/3/09 Look through the rules book at how the dimensions have changed and begin to think about ways to alter your existing catapult.
State Competition-
We did pretty well in Trajectory. Tony said that it was very similar to the regional. We got very close to the target each time. But the first nail, Tony had the adjustment perfect, but then moved it. It was fine because we still had another shot. We tried to get it the way it was before, we thought we had it correctly placed, but when we shot it went to short. That is how the state competition went for trajectory.
